PAS is for wimps, but then I've gotta say that as I've not got it :laugh:

Post by: audiquattro on 18 January 2005, 21:56: They are 2 well clean motors you got Mr.wotto :evil:
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: rubjonny on 19 January 2005, 08:28: Very nice, even the engine looks clean :smiley:
Looks like the cold and warm air feed pipes are missing from the airbox though? You'll have problems in cold weather if the warm air feed is missing! Which could be why it was so cheap :grin:
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: free on 19 January 2005, 08:36: no warm air feed is there but u cant c it vary well in pic
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: mrwotto on 19 January 2005, 10:27: Not noticed that one myself, but if free says they are there then I will take his word for it till i get chance to inspect later.

No problems with running in the cold yet tho. So free may well be right!
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: rubjonny on 19 January 2005, 10:42: Ok, basically on the end of the air feed to the carb there should be a cool feed to the wing which isn't too important tbh. There is also a second hose which clips into the bottom part below where the round lump with the vac pipe going to it, this feeds to a metal shroud bolted to the exhaust manifold.

It is needed along with metal shroud, mine sheared off a few months back. I thought I could get away with just tucking the pipe next to the manifold but I got problems with carb icing. The car would often stall at lights, even with the cold air feed removed. I clamped the shroud back on with 2 jubilee clips at the weekend and its been fine ever since!
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: audiquattro on 19 January 2005, 10:52: Carb icing can be strange. I've had a few carb vw's in my time, and the warm air hose always breaks.
I never did anything about it and never had any problems, i must of just been lucky! :laugh:
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: free on 19 January 2005, 11:01: dont matter if its there or note mate, they still do it,,,,,,, well mine does :angry: :angry: :angry: ? ALL THE TIME
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: audiquattro on 19 January 2005, 11:07: But haven't you got a gti mate? :laugh:
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: rubjonny on 19 January 2005, 11:26: Free if it still does it theres summat up with it elsewhere!

Audiquattro: Agreed, I think it depends on the car wheather it happens or not, you got a 1.8 or a 1.6? Mines a 1.6 :smiley:
Title: Re: Got a MK2 :D
Post by: audiquattro on 19 January 2005, 14:20: I used to have a driver 1.6 and a GL 1.8 auto, long time ago, since moved on to fuel injection :laugh:
